American Pie’s Shannon Elizabeth Reveals Why She’s Joining OnlyFans

by

Shannon Elizabeth’s next career move is no pie-in-the-sky.

I was so thrilled to hear that the amazing actress from American Pie is joining OnlyFans! She said it felt like the right moment for her to take control of her own sexuality, and honestly, good for her! It’s inspiring to see her doing this after all these years.

Okay, so I’ve been in Hollywood forever, and honestly, it’s always felt like other people were calling the shots – deciding what I did and how my career went. But now? It’s different. This is my time to take control, to finally show everyone a side of me they haven’t seen before – a more confident, maybe even a little bit sexy side! And the best part? I get to connect with you guys, my fans, in a way I never could before. It’s so exciting!

The 52-year-old explained she’s joining OnlyFans to connect with fans directly, have creative control over her work, and express herself freely. She believes platforms like this represent the future of content creation.

Shannon is known for embracing her sensuality, and this isn’t new. She first gained recognition in 1999, playing the role of foreign exchange student Nadia in the movie American Pie, alongside stars like Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Seann William Scott, and Eugene Levy.

The movie, about a group of high school friends trying to lose their virginity before graduation, contained some adult content, including a nude scene with Shannon. However, that provocative moment helped establish her as a sex symbol in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

In fact, Shannon even previously credited those scenes for her career success. 

In the 2020 documentary Skin: A History Of Nudity In The Movies, she explained to USA Today that her early nude scenes were likely crucial to her success, stating, “I might not have a career today if I hadn’t done them.”

Despite being known for her comedic and often outrageous roles in Scary Movie, Anna Faris has shared that her public image is very different from her true personality.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in March, Shannon explained that the part felt like a performance – playing a character. She added that, personally, she’s never been comfortable with nudity.

She explained that she’s always preferred to keep herself covered, even at home. She has friends who are comfortable being nude, but that’s never been her. When she first came out, people mistakenly thought she was comfortable with that level of openness, simply because of the timing.

Despite some debate about how well the movie has aged, Shannon—who later appeared in films like Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Thirteen Ghosts, and Love Actually—continues to feel that the comedy was a significant turning point in her life.

“Everything that I’ve done in my life,” she told ET, “is because of American Pie.”

Shannon isn’t the first celebrity to join OnlyFans. Here’s a look at other famous faces who are also using the platform.

The actor known for their role in Harry Potter shared in March 2025 that they had signed up for a social media platform to create content that’s highly specific and definitely not sexually explicit.

Jessie explained on her podcast, Before We Break Up Again, that her recent choices are aimed at people fascinated by hair. She views it as a liberating experience, noting that she’s often been seen as a conventional actress and wants to challenge that image. She embraces the unconventional and playfully acknowledges it’s a bit daring, asking herself, ‘Why not?’

Denise Richards, known from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, joined OnlyFans in 2022 after her daughter, Sami Sheen, began posting on the platform. OnlyFans is a subscription service that often features adult content, and Sami Sheen is the daughter of Denise Richards and her ex-husband, Charlie Sheen.

My daughter faced a lot of criticism after creating the account,” she explained to KTLA. “I knew about OnlyFans, but I didn’t really understand what it was. Once I learned more, I realized the platform combines the best features of other social media sites. What’s different is that creators actually own their content, unlike on other platforms where it can be sold without their permission.

Rob Kardashian’s ex-partner, Blac Chyna, was an early celebrity adopter of OnlyFans, joining in 2020. However, she stopped creating content on the platform three years later after becoming religious and being baptized.

Tyler Posey, known for his role in Teen Wolf, started an OnlyFans account in September 2020. But, he later told TopMob News that creating content for the site was emotionally exhausting.

He explained that being on OnlyFans sometimes felt dehumanizing. He’s really focused on creating content that’s artistic rather than purely sexual, because he doesn’t want to be categorized as someone who just produces porn, and he respects those who do. He wants to express himself creatively and maintain a connection with his supporters.

 

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve seen a lot of creators take control of their image and income, and it’s been fascinating to watch. Back in 2020, I decided to join OnlyFans and create exclusive content directly for my fans. I really wanted to offer a more personal connection, and as my page says, it’s about giving people a chance to experience something a little different and more intimate.

In August 2020, the former Disney Channel star started an account on OnlyFans with the goal of challenging negative attitudes about sex and sex work. She wanted to help normalize these topics by becoming a well-known figure openly involved with them.

She posted on X (formerly Twitter) that increasing the number of users could help reduce the stigma surrounding the site’s topic. She hopes more traffic will make it more accepted and understood.

Before marrying husband Moses Hacmon in 2021, the YouTuber had a lucrative career on OnlyFans.

After seeing how successful OnlyFans was in 2020, she decided to focus on it exclusively that year. As she explained to Polyester magazine, she was simply following where the money was going.

Trisha said she had a really enjoyable summer, earning a lot of money and having a great time. She likely would have kept going, but then she met Moses, and decided it was time to stop.

Kylie Jenner started using the subscription platform in 2020. She told Complex magazine she was thrilled to join a place where people could freely be themselves.

The rapper started an OnlyFans account in August 2020, around the time her song “WAP” became a huge success. She shared exclusive content on the platform, including behind-the-scenes looks at the “WAP” music video and glimpses into her everyday life.

Former Real Housewives of New York star unexpectedly joined a website in 2020, but she later removed her account.

Showing support for her fellow cast member on The Real Housewives of New York, Morgan announced she was joining OnlyFans in July 2020. To celebrate the launch, she offered a free membership to fans who signed up within the first week.

In 2020, the Youtuber launched an unedited OnlyFans account, announcing on X (formerly Twitter) simply, “TANA UNCENSORED IS FINALLY HERE AND THAT’S ALL IMA SAY.”

The “Smile” singer launched an OnlyFans account for her feet in 2024.

The musician behind the hit “Say You’re Just a Friend” started an OnlyFans account in 2020, promising exclusive content to those who contacted him.

The rapper known for “Rack City” began using OnlyFans in 2020, but he eventually closed that account to start his own similar platform called Myystar, which allows creators to share content with subscribers.
